WHAT IS HAIR DUSTING?

It’s a conundrum we’re all very familiar with: you’ve started avoiding your hairdresser (even though you hair is looking a little sorry) because you’ve finally got it to a length your happy with.

In the long run though, you’re not doing yourself or your hair any favours by letting split ends get out of control as they only lead to damaged hair and, in short, mean a big chop next time you make it to the salon.

If all of this sounds familiar or fills you with dread, fear not, as hair dusting just arrived to save your length.

It’s a technique that allows you rid yourself of split ends, freshen up and keep length, says hair guru Anthony Nader of Sydney’s RAW Anthony Nader salon. While it does “only removes those nasty dead wispy ends” hair dusting is an alternative to those who want to avoid layers and keep length.

“For those that have highly coloured hair (from blonde to dark, and vice versa) the dusting technique works a treat on removing those fragile ends, whilst still maintain length,” confirms Nader.

Though the salon owner does warn that hair dusting will not count as your regular six week appointment, rather think of it as “the added icing on the cake that makes your hair salon worthy and picture perfect,” and those with particularly fine hair should be wary of over dusting.

Yes, it really is possible to rid yourself of split ends but hair dusting is no replacement for a proper cut.
